We meet in a week that could change the United Kingdom forever. Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom as we know it. On Thursday, Scotland votes, and the future of our country is at stake. On Friday, people could be living in a different country, with a different place in the world and a different future ahead of it.

This is a decision that could break up our family of nations, and rip Scotland from the rest of the UK. And we must be very clear. There's no going back from this. No re-run. This is a once-and-for-all decision. If Scotland votes yes, the UK will split, and we will go our separate ways forever. When people vote on Thursday they are not just voting for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren and the generations beyond. So I want to speak directly to the people of this country today about what is at stake.

I speak for millions of people acroEngland, Wales and Northern Ireland – and many in Scotland, too who would be utterly heart-broken by the break-up of the United Kingdom. Utterly heart-broken to wake up on Friday morning to the end of the country we love, to know that Scots would no longer join with the English, Welsh and Northern Irish in our Army, Navy and Air Force, in our UK-wide celebrations and commemorations, in UK sporting teams from the Olympics to the British Lions. The United Kingdom would be no more. No UK pensions, no UK passports, no UK pound. The greatest example of democracy the world has ever known, of openness, of people of different nationalities and faiths coming together as one, would be no more. It would be the end of a country that launched the Enlightenment, that abolished slavery, that drove the industrial revolution, that defeated fascism. the end of a country that people around the world respect and admire the end of a country that all of us call home.

And we built this home together. It's only become Great Britain because of the greatneof Scotland. Because of the thinkers, writers, artists, leaders, soldiers, inventors who have made this country what it is. It's Alexander Fleming and David Hume; J.K. Rowling and Andy Murray and all the millions of people who have played their part in this extraordinary succestory, the Scots who led the charge on pensions and the NHS and on social justice.

We did all this together. For the people of Scotland to walk away now would be like painstakingly building a home – and then walking out the door and throwing away the keys. So I would say to everyone voting on Thursday, please remember. This isn't just any old country. This is the United Kingdom. This is our country. And you know what makes us truly great?

It's not our economic might or military powers – it's our values. British values. Fairness. Freedom. Justice. The values that say wherever you are, whoever you are, your life has dignity and worth. The values that say we don't walk on by when people are sick, that we don't ask for your credit card in the hospital, that we don't turn our backs when you get old and frail. That we don't turn a blind eye or a cold heart to people around the world who are desperate and

crying out for help.

This is what Britain means. This is what makes us the greatest country on earth. And it's why millions of us could not bear to see that country ending – for good, for ever – on Friday. Now I know that there are many people acroScotland who are planning to vote Yes. I understand why this might sound appealing. It's the promise of something different.

I also know that the people who are running the Yes campaign are painting a picture of a Scotland that is better in every way, and they can be good at painting that picture. But when something looks too good to be true – that's usually because it is. And it is my duty to be clear about the likely consequences of a Yes Vote.

Independence would not be a trial separation, it would be a painful divorce. And as Prime Minister I have to tell you what that would mean. It would mean the armed forces we have built up together over centuries being split up forever. It would mean our pension funds sliced up – at some cost. It would mean the borders we have would become international and may no longer be so easily crossed. It would mean the automatic support that you currently get from British embassies when you're travelling around the world would come to an end. It would mean over half of Scottish mortgages suddenly, from one day to the next, being provided by banks in a foreign country. It would mean that interest rates in Scotland are no longer set by the Bank of England – with the stability and security that promises. It would mean - for any banks that remain in Scotland – if they ever got in trouble it would be Scottish taxpayers and Scottish taxpayers alone that would bear the costs. It would mean that we no longer pool resources acrothe whole of the UK to pay for institutions like the NHS or our welfare system. This is not guesswork. There are no question marks, no maybe this or maybe that. The Nationalists want to break up UK funding on pensions, the UK funding of healthcare, the UK funding and comprehensive protection on national security.

These are the facts...Don't lose faith in what this country is – and what we can be. Don’t forget what a great United Kingdom you are part of. Don’t turn your backs on what is the best family of nations in the world and the best hope for your family in this world. So please, from all of us: Vote to stick together, vote to stay, vote to save our United Kingdom.

We meet in a week that couldchange the United Kingdom forever. Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom aswe know it。

这一周可能永远改变英国，还有可能让我们所有人熟知的“United Kingdom”不复存在。 On Thursday, Scotland votes, and the future of ourcountry is at stake. On Friday, people could be living in a different country,with a different place in the world and a different future ahead of it。Thisis a decision that could break up our family of nations, and rip Scotland from therest of the UK. And we must be very clear. There’s no going back from this. Noreturn. This is a once-and-for-all decision。If Scotland votes yes, the UKwill split, and we will go our separate ways forever。Whenpeople vote on Thursday, they are not just voting for themselves, but for theirchildren and grandchildren and the generations beyond。So Iwant to speak directly to the people of this country today about what is at stake。

I speak for millions of peopleacroEngland, Wales and Northern Ireland and many in Scotland, to who wouldbetterly heartbroken by the breakup of the United Kingdom。

我为数百万英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰人民，以及许多可能为与联合国王国分手而伤心的苏格兰人民，说

Utterly heartbroken to wake up onFriday morning to the end of the country we love, to know that Scots would nolonger join with the English, Welsh and Northern Irishin our Army, Navy and AirForce, in our UK-wide celebrations and commemorations, in UK sporting teamsfrom the Olympics to the British Lions。The United Kingdom would be nomore. No UK pensions, no UK passports, no UK pound。

在周五早晨醒来，我们伤心，因为我们所深爱的国家已经不再，苏格兰将不再与英格威尔士和北爱尔兰在三军中携手，不再参与联合王国在世界上的光荣活动，不再是英国奥林匹克代表团成员。从此失去联合国王国的养老金，不再持有联合国王国的护照，不再使用英镑。 The greatest example of democracythe world has ever known, of openness, of peopleof different nationalities andfaiths coming together as one, would be no more。It would be the end of a countrythat launched the Enlightenment that abolished slavery that drove theindustrial revolution that defeated fascism. The end ofa

country that peoplearound the world respect and admire the end of a country that all of us callhome。

And we built this home together.It’s only become Great Britain because of the greatneof Scotland。Because of the thinkers, writers,artists, leaders, soldiers, inventors who have madethis country what it is。It's Alexander Fleming and DavidHume; J.K. Rowling and Andy Murray and all the millions of people who haveplayed their part in this extraordinary succestory, the Scots who led thecharge on pensions and the NHS and on social justice。We did all this together。

For the people of Scotland towalk away now would be like painstakingly building ahome – and then walking outthe door and throwing away the keys。SoI would say to everyone votingon Thursday, please remember. This isn't just any old country. This is theUnited Kingdom. This is our country。

militaryprowess, it's our values。British values. Fairness.Freedom. Justice。The values that say wherever youare, whoever you are, your life has dignity and worth。The values that say we don't walkon by when people are sick, that we don't ask for your credit card in thehospital, that we don't turn our backs when you get old and frail。That we don't turn a blind eye ora cold heart to people around the world who are desperate and crying out forhelp。This is what Britain means。This is what makes us thegreatest country on earth。And it's why millions of us couldnot bear to see that country ending – for good,for ever – on Friday。

NowI know that there are manypeople acroScotland who are planning to vote Yes。I understand why this might soundappealing。It's the promise of

somethingdifferent。I also know that the people whoare running the Yes campaign are painting a picture of a Scotland that isbetter in every way, and they can be good at painting that picture。But when something looks too goodto be true – that's usually because it is。And it is my duty to be clearabout the likely consequences of a Yes Vote。Independence would not be a trialseparation; it would be a painful divorce。And as Prime Minister I have totell you what that would mean。

It would mean we no longer sharethe same currency。It would mean the armed forces wehave built up together over centuries being split up forever。It would mean our pension funds being sliced up – at some cost。It would mean the borders we havewould become international and may no longer be so easily crossed。It would mean the automaticsupport that you currently get from British embassies when you’re

travellingaround the world would come to an end。It would mean over half ofScottish mortgages suddenly, from one day to the next,being provided by banksin a foreign country。It would mean that we no longerpool resources acrothe whole of the UK to payfor institutions like the NHSor our welfare system。It would mean that interest ratesin Scotland are no longer set by the Bank of England – with the stability andsecurity that promises。It would mean – for any banksthat remain in Scotland – if they ever got introuble it would be Scottishtaxpayers and Scottish taxpayers alone that would bear the costs。This is not guesswork. There areno question marks, no maybe this or maybe that。The Nationalists want to break upUK funding on pensions, the UK funding of healthcare,the UK funding andcomprehensive protection on national security。These are the facts. This is whatwould happen。An end to the things we sharetogether。And the people of Scotland mustknow these facts before they make this once-and-for-all decision。To warn of the consequences isnot to scare-monger it is like warning a friendabout a decision they might takethat will affect the rest of their lives – and the lives of their children。Is ay all this because I don'twant the people of Scotland to be sold a dream that disappears。

NowI know that some people say:we've heard about the risks and the uncertainties but we still want change。Look.The United Kingdom is not aperfect country - no country is。Of course we must constantlychange and improve people's lives。No one is content while there arestill children living in poverty。No oneis content while there arepeople struggling, and young people not reaching their potential。Yes,every political party isdifferent。But we are all of us –Conservatives, Labour, Lib Dems, Nationalists – on aconstant mission to changeour country for the better。The question is: how do you getthat change?For me it's simple。

You don't get the change you wantby ripping your country apart。You don't get change byundermining your economy and damaging your businesses anddiminishing your placein the world。But you can get real, concretechange on Thursday: if you vote No.’Businessas usual' is not on theballot paper. The status quo is gone。This campaign has swept it away。There is no going back to the waythings were。

A vote for No means real changeand we have spelled that change out in practical terms, with a plan and aprocess。If we get a No vote on Thursday,that will trigger a

major, unprecedented program of devolution with additional powers for the Scottish Parliament.Major new powers over tax,spending and welfare services。Wehave agreed a timetable forthat stronger Scottish Parliament: a time-table tobring in the new

powers thatwill go ahead if there is a No vote...a White Paper by November, put into draftlegislation by January。This is a time table that is nowagreed by all the main political parties and set instone and I am prepared towork with all the main parties to deliver thisduring 2016.So a No vote actually meansfaster, fairer, safer and better change。And this is a vital point:Scotland is not an observer in the affairs of this country。Scotland is shaping and changingthe United Kingdom for the better – more so today than at any point in the lastthree hundred years and will continue to help shape the constitution of ourcountry。And Scottish people can enjoy theadditional powers its Parliament gives without losing the UK pension, the UKpound or the UK passport。Real change is Scotland's for thetaking。The power to set your own courseand make your own decisions with the security of being in the UK without therisks of going it alone。

Scotland’s identity is already,strong Scottish culture, strong Scottish arts, a strongChurchof Scotlandand in the last 15years you have built a strong Scottish Parliament not afleeting institutionbut a permanent one。

The Nationalists’ vision ofnarrowing down, going it alone, breaking all ties with the UK。

主张独立版本是收缩、独立前行，与联合王国断开所有联系。

Or the patriotic vision of astrong Scottish nation allied to the rest of the United Kingdom with its ownstronger Scottish Parliament at its heart, and with the benefits of workingtogether in the UK on jobs, pensions, healthcare funding,the currency, interestrates。

Why should the next generation ofthat family be forced to choose whether to identify only with Edinburgh or onlywith London choose which embassy they want to go to when they are in troubleabroad or pack their passport when they're going to see friends and loved ones?

Vote No, and you arevoting for abigger and broader and better future for Scotland, and you are investing in thefuture for your children and grandchildren. So this is our message to thepeople of Scotland:

说“不”，意味着一个更大、更广阔、未来更美好的苏格兰，你们的子孙后代将因此获益。这就是我们对苏格兰人们的呼吁。

We want you to stay. Head andheart and soul, we want you to stay。

我们希望你留下，从我们内心，头脑到灵魂最深处都希望你们留下

Please don't mix up the temporaryand the permanent。

请不要弄混了“暂时”和“永远”的关系

Don't think: “I'm frustrated withpolitics right now, so I'll walk out the door and never come back。”

请不要因为你不喜欢政治而选择离开我们

If you don't like me – I won't behere forever. If you don't like this Government– it won't last forever. But ifyou leave the UK – that will be forever。

如果你们不喜欢我，我不会永远在这里，如果你们不喜欢这一届政府，这一届政府也不会永远在这里，但是你们选择独立，那就是永远了。

Yes,the different parts of the UKdon't always see eye-to-eye。

没错，联合王国的各个部分并不是时时刻刻都亲密无间。

Yes,we need change– and we willdeliver it but to get that change, to get abrighter future, we don't need totear our country apart。

没错，我们需要变革，我们会将它实现，但要迎接这样一个变革，这样一个更光明的未来，我们不需要分裂我们的国家。

In two days, this long campaignwill be at an end. And as you stand in the stillneof the polling booth, Ihope you will ask yourself this。

两天之内，这场漫长活动即将结束。当你置身于安静的投票站时，我希望你扪心自问： Will my family and I truly bebetter off by going it alone? Will we really be more safe and secure? Do Ireally want to turn my back on the rest of Britain, and why is it that so manypeople acrothe world are asking: why would Scotland want to do that? Why? Andif you don't know the answer to these questions –then vote No。 苏格兰独立真的能让我的家庭和我过得更好吗？我们真的会更加安全和稳定吗？我这的想离开大不列颠？为什么全世界的人民都在问：为什么苏格兰要这样做？为什么？如果你不知道这些问题的答案，请说“不”。

At the end of the day, all thearguments of this campaign can be reduced to a single fact: we are bettertogether. So as you reach your final decision,please don't let anyone tell youthat you can't be a proud Scot and a proud Brit。

Don't lose faith in what thiscountry is – and what we can be. Don’t forget what a great United Kingdom youare part of. Don’t turn your backs on what is the best family of nations in theworld and the best hope for your family in this world.So please, from all ofus: Vote to stick together, vote to stay, vote to save our United Kingdom。
